Principles of Lean Entrepreneurship with Patrick Vlaskovits

A few weeks ago, I met Ryan Holiday for dinner and he gave me a very interesting list of people he thought would be perfect guests for BlogcastFM. One of those people was Patrick Vlaskovits. Patrick has been applying The Lean Startup methodology to his business efforts long before it became mainstream. The success of his self-published book eventually resulted in the publication of the Lean Entrepreneur.
